Updated Macromolecule Webquest

1. The document discusses a webquest on macromolecules. It includes tasks to watch videos and complete tutorials on the four main macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. 2. Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids are composed of monomers that link together through dehydration synthesis to form polymers. During hydrolysis, polymers break down into their monomer subunits. 3. The tasks cover the structure, functions, and examples of each macromolecule type and have students complete practice questions to test their understanding. A game is also included for students to review macromolecules concepts.
